Our Steam Next Fest demo kicks off on June 19 and will remain accessible until the end of the event on June 26.
However, if you find yourself unable to access the SYNCED demo, please check the following possible reasons/solutions:
1)The SYNCED demo will not download.
Solution: This may be happening due to a previous version of a SYNCED playtest still appearing in your library and causing some confusion behind the scenes. To fix this, click on "SYNCED" in your library, then "Support", and then "I want to permanently remove this game from my account"
You can then go back to the SYNCED store page (not SYNCED demo store page) and click on the option to download the demo.
2)An error message claims the demo is not available in your region.
Solution: Select your Steam username in the top right corner, and choose "Account details" followed by "View licenses and product key activations".
You should see "SYNCED Demo (Chinese)" Select "Remove".
Note: You may need to click "Purchase" on the SYNCED store page in order to see the green "Play" button as normal.
3)The demo downloaded, but anti-cheat is preventing it from launching.
Solution: Restart your system and run the demo again.
